(Whiteboard: [PDT+] Can't even begin to estimate. Don't even understand the problem yet.) 

Open up mailnews.
Open the twisty on a server.  Select a folder.  The twisty will close itself.
If it doesn't happen by doing this, select a message.  This is usually enough to
make this happen.

I see this problem in today commercial seamonkey builds win32 1999-12-14-09-m12
and macos 1999-12-14-08-m12.  I did not test Linux.  This occurs under POP.  Sol
reported this issue using IMAP on win32.

Work around: I have to manually collapse and expand the list of folders to have
them displayed again.
Build 1999121408M12: NT4, Mac
Esther and I are both seeing this on todays build.

On my system running NT4,I noticed with a profile using an IMAP account and
6 News accounts, after selecting the Inbox it prompts for a password and
it retrives messages. This is when the IMAP account collapses and all the News
accounts disappear (only the IMAP top level is displayed). When I expand the
IMAP account then all the folders and accounts reappear. The collapsing problem
also occurs when I select another folder in the IMAP account.
Putting on PDT+ radar.

This problem also happened on news/newsgroup.
But, overall, I still can see the folders and do some other testing, this
problem keep happening intermittent.

Target Milestone: M12
targetting p1 for m12, removing extraneous 'BLOCKER' from summary.
FWIW, I don't see this using IMAP on Win98, MacOS 8.6 or RH 6.0.

I am baffled.  This has to do with karnaze's recent changes, but I can't track
it down.  Both the file tree and the mailnews tree are affected.  The frames
aren't really getting destroyed... they're just somehow being lost, either
during the flow or the paint.

I suspect it has something to do with reflow.  If I had to guess, it might have
something to do with nested row groups.
Whiteboard: [PDT+] → [PDT+] Can't even begin to estimate. Don't even understand the problem yet.
Ok, I have a clearer idea of what's happening in mail at least.  Whenever my
IMAP Inbox folder goes from bold text to regular text (or vice versa), the tree
gets an incremental reflow performed on it.

I suspect that karnaze has made some changes to incremental reflow (in
particular to style changed incremental reflows) that do the wrong thing with
nested row groups.
Hyatt forgot to mention that a crude workaround is to resize the window
vertically.
Yes, forcing a resize reflow will make things show up.
I think there's a crash associated with this.  When I browse my file system, if
I open a folder and then click on the twisty for a subfolder, the folder closes
up.  When I click on the folder's twisty again to open it up, I get the
following crash,

*** Bug 21817 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
When testing in news I discovered that it only seems to happe when the
server/group pane needs to change the number of unread messages.  If I click on
a newsgroup that has some unread messages and tehn I click on a header of an
unread header then the list of newsgroups disappears.  If I click on a newsgroup
with no new messages and click on an already read message then the
newsgroup/servers in the left pane stay visible.
I think what is happening is that when teh message count in the
server/folder/group pane needs refreshing is is getting lost (disappearing).
When it doesn't need refreshing/updating tehn no action in the header or message
pane cause the groups/folders to disappear.
